Issues and Fixes
DLC on Linux
The DLC for this game can only be bought via Steam or as a part of the collector's edition from the website. Because of this, the DLC is not officially sold on Linux, but it can be used with the Linux version after being bought on Steam [1].
- Buy DLC via Steam
- Install DLC via Steam, either under Windows or via Wine
- Copy the relevant directories
- Folder in the main directory (e.g. "GSB/nomads GSB/campaign")
- "data/install/DLC_RELATED" into "GSB/data/install/DLC_RELATED"
- "data/packages/DLC_RELATED" into "GSB/data/packages/DLC_RELATED"
- Convert all .dds files to .png
- This can be done with the use of ImageMagick. To automate this process further the following command may be used (NO WARRANTY):
for x in `find . -name "*.dds"`; do convert $x `dirname $x`/`basename $x .dds`.png; done
- Some users have noted that some backgrounds appear white, when using the DLC, but this can be further fixed by converting the .bmp files
Issues unresolved
Whilst in battle, the game would, approximately every 3 minutes, drop from the regular (on an average machine, I do not know the specs of it) FPS of ~60, to < 10 FPS. It would go back to the regular FPS about 5 minutes later, and then repeat this cycle. Cause unknown, fix unknown.
